Young, MBA (and cancer survivor) Cancer Treatment Centers of America Southwestern Regional Medical Center The Center for Spirituality, Theology, and Health, at Duke University Medical Center is led by co-founders Dr. Keith Meador and Dr. Harold Koenig. The three main goals of the Center are to support research and education at the intersections of spirituality and health, to explore the role of faith communities in forming the health of the broader community, and to integrate research and scholarship into the practical disciplines of care and service. A cornerstone of the Center’s work is the Community of Scholars, a multi-disciplinary team of nationally and internationally rec - ognized scholars from Duke University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and other colleges and universities. This group includes members from diverse disciplines such as medicine, theology, sociology, psychology, religious studies, public policy, and epidemiology who gath - er once a month to discuss their common work in order to stimulate research and scholarship at the intersection of spirituality, theology, and health. Current scholars include representatives from several traditions within Christianity as well as from Judaism and Buddhism. The Center also supports innovative research in spirituality and health . The Center is currently administering seven innovative grants made by the John Templeton Foundation for the purpose of investigat - ing how religion and spirituality – in particular, religious attendance, worship, and altruistic and caring activities – influence individual and community health. Additional educational offerings of the Center include monthly seminars for the entire university community featuring nationally and internationally recognized Visiting Scholars , undergraduate and graduate student opportunities , summer research and clinical workshops, and a post-doctoral research fellowship program.
